Mary Jane’s Last Dance

Tom Petty - Mary Jane's Last Dance

She grew up in an Indiana town,

Had a good looking mama who never was around

But she grew up tall and she grew up right

With them Indiana boys on them Indiana nights

Well, she moved down here at the age of eighteen

She blew the boys away, was more than they'd seen

I was introduced and we both started grooving

I said, I dig you baby, but I got to keep moving on

Keep moving on

CHORUS

Last dance with Mary Jane

One more time to kill the pain

I feel summer creeping in

And I'm tired of this town again

Well, I don't know, but I've been told

You never slow down, you never grow old

I'm tired of screwing up, tired of going down

Tired of myself, tired of this town.

Oh, my, my Oh, hell, yes

Honey, put on that party dress

Buy me a drink, sing me a song

Take me as I come because I can't stay long

CHORUS

Last dance with Mary Jane

One more time to kill the pain

I feel summer creeping in

And I'm tired of this town again

There's pigeons down on Market Square

She's standing in her underwear

Looking down from a hotel room

Nightfall will be coming soon

Oh, my, my Oh, hell, yes

You got to put on that party dress

It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone

I hit my last number and walked to the road

CHORUS

Last dance with Mary Jane

One more time to kill the pain

I feel summer creeping in

And I'm tired of this town again
